Pot control-PTBB/100 poll

Please, please only vote if you are both 1) and 2):

1) Decisively either a pot-pot-pot bettor (keeps betting standard bet amount until convinced you're beat) or a slow down when encountering resistance (pot control) type. You are not somewhere in the middle or not sure which is preferable.

2) Have at least 25,000 Pokertracker hands

PTBB= 2 Big Blinds

this poll sucks

lots of things are wrong with poll

25k hands doesnt mean anything
the winrate used is too high for 400nl+
just because people dont bet the pot over and over doesnt mean they are good at pot control

betting pot usually sux IMO

Well I'm getting few enough responses as is so I have to make a compromise somewhere between accuracy and sufficient sample size and 25k is reasonable
yea but again, i can't make a separate poll for every limit from 10NL all the way up to 400NL either, so 7.5 is a good compromise
that's why I said I'm not referring strictly to the behavior of full pot bets but the intended philosophy of not stopping making standard bets until one is convinced they are beat. I'm referring to crystallized opposing general philosophies. The 25k hand limit should leave only people who understand what I'm talking about.

In my experience, the pot bet is just too large for many situations. Don't you think that TPTK is overplayed by pot, pot, pot bet?

there is no need to pot bet
other players only need to make pot odds mistakes, not call a pot bet

there are plenty of good times to bet the pot

I think pot sized bets win you less and lose you more. You invest too much before realizing you are beat. 3/4 pot will usually accomplish the same thing - making your opponents call against their odds while displaying strength.
